We found a spice mix on the clearance rack and then discovered we could not find it anymore! So Adrian spent some time experimenting and came up with a very similar blend. It is great on chicken or on popcorn.
Boerewors
We took this recipe to the butchers, and he custom made this sausage for us. It is a drier sausage, but so good. (It should be a moist sausage, so it was not exactly right)
Unfortunately, he did not tell us what meats he used, though we asked him to keep notes so we could duplicate it. He did record the spices. When we try this again, I think we will omit the bacon and just use fattier pieces of pork.
Samosas
This was a favorite treat at all church potlucks! While this is very close to what I remember from Swaziland, I would love to be able to compare it and see how close we really are.
If you do not like spice, cut the spices in half for your first batch. These are not hot, but they are spicy.
Beef Samosas
I don’t remember having these until we lived in Swaziland. We often had them at church potlucks and, while similar, each family had a slightly different recipe. I preferred the ones with peas, but some used raisins instead.
This recipe is a very mild blend of spices. We often double, or triple the spices depending on who is making the. Fill the wontons with a generous helping of stuffing, but be careful not to overstuff.
For an appetizer, plan on two per person. For a main meal with a salad, plan on 4 or 5 per person.
